RockSpeak Defined

Brilliantly funny author and Spin columnist Chuck Klosterman (of Sex Drugs & Cocoa Puffs Fame) has written a Rock Lexicon. Check it out at Spin.com. Highlights include:

SHOEGAZE:Music by artists who stare at their feet while performing—presumably because they are ashamed to be playing such shambolic music to an audience of weirdos.

RAWK: This is how people who start bands in order to meet porn stars spell rock. It is also applied to long-haired guitar players who can’t play solos.
